I'm off on a little two day trip to Detroit. I'll be filmed for Ralph Martin's TV show "The Choices We Make" and then will have the fun of teaching an afternoon class for 27 grad students in the STL/MA program in the New Evangelization at Sacred Heart Seminary.

I'll also get to reconnect with fellow blogger Tim Ferguson whom I knew at St. Dominic's in San Francisco and who is now a canon lawyer and STL student at Sacred Heart. And spend some time with Ralph Martin who I have wanted to talk to for years because his knowledge of the breadth and depth of the Church is pretty nearly unsurpassed - especially for a layman.

Back Thursday. I leave you in Fr. Mike's and Br. Matthew and Keith's ever competent hands till then.
